Cairo, March 04 (QNA) - Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi affirmed that the GCC fully supports Arab and international efforts aimed at achieving a just and permanent solution to the Palestinian issue, noting that the rights of the Palestinian people will not lapse with time. In a speech during the Extraordinary Arab Summit in Cairo on Tuesday, Albudaiwi stated that the participation of the GCC in this emergency Arab Summit affirms the steadfast positions of the GCC countries in supporting the Palestinian cause, especially in light of the rapid and dangerous developments the Palestinian cause is currently undergoing, while reaffirming the GCC's firm position rejecting these violations and dangerous attempts, which affect the foundations of regional and international security. He expressed the GCC's strong condemnation of the extremist calls to annex the occupied West Bank, forcibly displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and reoccupy it, and build new settlements. The GCC Secretary General also underscored the GCC's support for the Arab Summit's initiative to deploy international peacekeeping forces affiliated with the United Nations in the occupied Palestinian territory, until the two-state solution is implemented, and to ensure the protection of the Palestinian people from continuous violations.
